Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED63X120SB pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 63 mm bore delivers an identical 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) suits external knuckles and tooling plates, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions without any extra bracket work.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot. A fixed TPU bumper at each end takes the end-of-stroke shock, the S45C hard-chrome through-rod resists rotation and side load, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 875 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - about 89 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120SB Is Used
Reciprocating paint-line carriers
The back rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod shuttles a 60 kg carrier between two spray stations; equal 1458.1 N thrust both ways keeps travel time identical in each direction at 0.5 MPa.
Symmetric press-fit of bushings
A male-threaded rod end bolts a pressure plate that seats bronze bushings into aluminium housings; the through-rod resists the side load when the housing sits slightly off-center.
Counterweight-equalized lift column
A rod on each cover lets one side carry the load and the other a counterweight in a packaging-machine column, so the 89 kg-class vertical capacity holds with balanced plumbing.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120SB the Right Cylinder?
At 1458.1 N per direction (0.5 MPa), this 63 mm unit sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) - step down when the load is under 80 kg, step up for heavy clamping. The 120 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and CA clevis brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and remember that a through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED63X120SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the 120 mm stroke stays within the 250 mm standard for a 63 mm bore. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp directly into the body slots; models ordered without the S code have no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
